It’s not uncommon for those of us with chronic respiratory, sleep or nervous conditions to have a hard time getting over a cold or flu.

When we first get it, we accept feeling miserable. Then, as the acute symptoms start to lift, we feel like ourselves again. Yay! But often, that exuberant feeling is only temporary as fatigue, a half-stuffy nose and a general sense of malaise become the new norm for a month or longer.

World Breathing Day – highlighting the importance of breathing well – is today, February 3rd. It joins International Breathe Through Your Nose Week in late September to make up the two "holidays" we commemorate over the year.

In the U.S., according to conservative statistics, more than 70 percent of us are struggling with conditions exacerbated by poor breathing habits -- including asthma, allergies, snoring, sleep apnea, migraines and anxiousness.
